Called TF before new phone arrived to verify number and mintues transfer procedure. Was instructed not to activate, but to call in.
7/29/09 - First call, TF activated the new phone then deactivated the old phone. Then they transfered the minutes. The woman said that it would take a few minutes to transfer the number and put me on hold. After 1 hr holding with no response, I hung up. On looking at "my number" on the new phone it showed correctly the old phone, so I assumed that all was well.
7/30/09 - Started receiving calls on new phone, when I asked what number they were calling it was not the old phone number but the number originally assigned to the new phone. Verified that the phone number was the new one, despite what the phone showed.
Call TF, after 1 hr of back and forth, holding while they checked things, they said "The old phone number does not belong to TF, therefore can not be assigned." After some more back and forth, they said that the old number showing in the new phone could not be changed even though the phone answer to the new number. I asked for a new SIM card (and number) which they are now sending.
I have lost my old number due to a very poor process.
